our support. Just to make it clear: "appreciate" in this context doesn't mean funding. All those years we didn't get as much as a "thank you!" from anyone.
Operating tor nodes is - like operating any invisible infrastructure - inherently thankless.
Absolutely. Most of the infrastructure we provide on that basis and it is ok! The reason for running that exit node was that we believed it would contribute towards a positive impact in many peoples lives.
The "appreciation" part was rather directed to those individuals who know me/us personally and only to them. You know who you are. No bad feelings though! :-)

How's that for a "change in strategy"?
Well, sad. So long, and thanks for the exit bandwith past.
It surely was a fun time. Including the abuse-report handling.
In the end however, it is no longer appropriate for us to contribute to the Tor Project so we decided that we have no reasonable choice left, but to discontinue the service.
Cheers.
